ESP32 Board Package

Now that the IDE is installed, we need to tell it how to write to ESP32 boards.

1. Open Arduino IDE.
2. In the left icon list, click on the second one. It’s the weird looking one. Maybe it’s a one-eyed robot?
3. In the blank box directly below BOARDS MANAGER, search for espressif.
4. esp32 by Espressif Systems is the one we’re working with. Go ahead and click Install below the description.
5. Downloading the package may take a minute or two, and Install will change to Remove as seen below.

   

There are a ton of esp32 boards available. They’re not quite in alphabetical order, either, so this may require a little patience.

To find the board, go to: Tools > Board > esp32 > NoLogo ESP32C3 Super Mini

That’s it! On to setting up Additional Packages
